Synopsis

Excerpt from History of the Third Battalion: Sixth Regiment, U. S. Marines After receiving numerous requests for copies of the Third Battalion history, and after Sergeant Major Robinson had written two sets of five copies each on the typewriter it became evident that if every man who wanted and deserved a copy of the history of his battalion during the late war, secured one this history would have to be printed. After a great deal of thoughtful discussion Lieut. MacRitchie, former Battalion Quartermaster and Lieut. Charles F. Hurlbut, formerly of the 84th Company, both of whom have been with the battalion throughout the major portion of its history, convinced me that the history not only can be printed and put out in convenient form but that it is really a duty that the custodians of the battalion records owe to the members of the battalion. With this thought in mind Lieut. MacRitchie, Lieut. Hurlbut and myself formulated the plan and prepared to put it through. A preliminary canvass of the men aboard the Wilhelmina disclosed the widespread desire for copies of the history among the present members of the battalion.
